Tommy John Schiavoni of North Haven, who is running on the Democratic ticket for New York State Assembly, picked up a big endorsement last week when Senator Chuck Schumer announced his support for the Southampton Town councilman’s candidacy. 

Mr. Schiavoni has the backing of outgoing Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. He is running against Republican Stephen Kiely of Mattituck, the Shelter Island Town attorney. 

In announcing his support for Mr. Schiavoni, Senator Schumer said he “has the experience and the know-how to effectively advocate for the residents of New York’s 1st Assembly District in Albany.” Also supporting his campaign are former Representative Tim Bishop, County Legislator Ann Welker, and the New York State Teachers Union.
